"In Europe, the percentage of non-residents involved in road accidents, particularly due to speeding, is very high.
Adoption of the Council's position at first reading is a first step towards a common transport policy in the field of road safety. Among the substantial amendments set out, many provisions originally proposed and strengthened have been completely removed from the text. As a result, the new text now restricts itself to exchanging information between Member States through an electronic data exchange network to identify a vehicle which has committed an offence.
Three Member States are not party to the directive, since the new legal basis chosen by the Council left the door open for Ireland and the United Kingdom to opt-in and Denmark to opt-out. This decision will have negative repercussions on the equal and fair treatment of European citizens by preserving a general feeling of impunity.
We therefore propose right and more stringent reporting obligations for Member States, which should be reinforced in terms of timing and content. We hope that the enforcement procedures are revised and that traffic rules and control procedures are harmonised."@en1
